where the Indians were encamped,
aud strapped to tree to die. just
before dusk Geronimo happened to
pass the prisoner, who bad succeed

the leather straps which bound him
to the tree.
"Ugh y gruuted the big Apache

"The prisoner thrust his fingers
into his teeth, and shook them in
the face OF the Apache. This done.
he replaced the plates as quickly
as he had removed them, and,
plucking out his glass eye, began
polishing it on bis knee. Geronimo
had seen a good many things in his
life, but tue sight of a mau remOv

enough to make the savage's hair
staud on end. Without Whiting 10

was their custom, the Apaches re-

HHISTLES or THE WIND
BY AUSTIN DoBsoN.
How it sings, sings, sings.

How it sings, sings, sings,
Blowing sharply from the sea line,
With an edge OF salt that stings;
How it laughs aloud and passes,
As it cuts the close cliff grasses;
How it sings again and Whistles
As it shakes the stout sea thistles-
How it sings
How it shrieks, shrieks, shrieks
In the crannies of the hcadland,
In the ,ashes of the creeks;
How it shrieks once mgre and catches
Up the yellow foam III patches;
How it whirls 1t out and over
To the corn-tield and the clover
How it shrieks
How it roars, roars, roars
In the iron under-caverns,
In the hollows of the shores
How it roars anew and thunders,
AS the strong hull splits and sunders,
And the spent ship, tempest-driven,
On reef lies rent and rlven-
How it roars
How it walls. walls, walls,
In the tangle of the wreckage,
In the tapping of the sails
How it sobs away, subsding
Like tired child after chding;
Aud across the ground-swell rolling,
You can hear the bell-buoy tollng--
How it walls
